hunter-killer: Seen her a few times now, people should also be aware of the wolves on the island. We watch from work in the winter, wolves chasing deer along the frozen Kam River. Lots of preditors despite what you read in the letters to the editor regarding feeding of deer

Welcome Geocachers!

The NorWest Ontario Geocachers is an informal group of geocaching enthusiasts from Northwest Ontario. We have members from across the north shore of Lake Superior, westward to the Manitoba border, hiding and seeking geocaches across the region.

Join us on Facebook

In addition to social events and geocaching challenges, we encourage the hiding of quality caches and promote safe, fun and exciting geocaching through all of Northwest Ontario.

This website is our online home, where we like to hang out, plan our next hides, events, outings and challenges. It's also where we keep up-to-date on various topics related to geocaching, like the technology behind the hunt, sharing new outdoor recreation areas we discover and ways to make geocaching more fun for each other in Northwest Ontario. We hope you find us to be a friendly bunch, and make a place for yourself here as well.

GeoJourneys Videos

You've got to check out JosAub's video project, GeoJourneys. Beware, there may be spoilers! Here's one to whet your appetite. Be sure to "Like" this video when you're finished watching it and share it with your geocaching (and non-geocaching) friends. It's a great look into what this odd game we play is all about. Looking forward to many more of these videos.
